For the third member,1 as it were expounding the second addeth: and he was caste to the Earth. For they that are thrown to the ground, are judged to be overcome. Therefore a full victory and perfect conquest is signified. Howbeit he was ones most valiantly thrown to the Earth. Of our lord Jesus Christ, in the mystery of our redemption, and in the virtue of the same is daily cast to the Earth, of the faithful. And like as the Devil hath no place permanent in heaven nor in the chosen: so verily doeth he inhabit all earthly, that is to say men savouring the earth, and contemning heavenly things. Yea and we hear that his Angels are cast out with him. For the Lord in the gospel of S. John the .16. chapt. sayeth: In the world you have affliction: but be of good there, I have overcome the world. And S. John in his Canonical epistle: you are of God little children, sayeth he,2 and you have overcome them: for he is greater that is in you, than he is that is in the world. And this is the victory that overcame the world, even your faith.
For the thirde membre,1 as it were expoundyng the seconde addeth: and he was caste to the Earth. For they that are throwen to the groūde, are iudged to be ouercome. Therfore a full victory and perfit conqueste is signified. Howbeit he was ones most valeauntly throwen to the Earth. Of our lord Iesus Christ, in the misterie of our redemption, and in the vertue of the same is dayly cast to the Earth, of the faithfull. And like as the Deuill hath no place permanent in heauen nor in the chosen: so verely doeth he inhabite all earthly, that is to saye menne sauouring the earth, and contemnyng heauenly thinges. Yea and we heare that his Angels are cast out with him. For the Lord in the gospel of S. Iohn the .16. chapt. sayeth: In the world you haue afflictiō: but be of good there, I haue ouercome the worlde. And S. Iohn in his Canonical epistle: you are of God little children, sayeth he,2 and you haue ouercome them: for he is greater that is in you, thā he is that is in the worlde. And this is the victory that ouercame the world, euen your fayth.
